Dear Members,

Now I'm sure that's much faster than Kakashi at 14 years old was.

In general, the Narutoverse could care less about the laws of physics, true. However, I DID prove that the feats accomplished by Kirin are easily accomplished by a regular lightning bolt, if a very peculiar one.

And as the Hachibi is stronger than any natural bolt of lightning, and the Third is roughly equal to the Hachibi, it follows that the Thirds raiton is stronger than Sasuke's. Not even mentioning Kakashi.

Re: Who was the best lightning release (raiton) user?

^ The difference between Kirin and a regular lightening bolt is a vast one, as Sasuke brings it down through control. He brought down multiple bolts at the same time shaped in form of a dragon that obliterated the whole damn area. A single lightening bolt can never accomplish that.

A lightning bolt NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD has been directed in the way Kirin was, and if it did it could accomplish what Kirin did without any trouble. An actual lightning bolt HAS NEVER properly HIT any target, save, say, if a plane somehow got caught in the middle of one in mid-air. Lightning barely strafes targets with its outer edge, and yet it's still enough to cause young children nightmares and is one of the most impressive examples of the forces of nature in action.

Kirin is, in effect, a spread-out single lightning bolt that's under Sasuke's control. While that is a SCARY thought, it's still just A lightning bolt under Sasuke's control, and when it comes to concentrated destruction Hell Stab or even Raikiri are easily provable to be stronger.

Re: Who was the best lightning release (raiton) user?

Kakashi's the most diverse with it, inventing and improving chidori, as well as creating other useful moves like lightning clone and lightning chain. Running beast is a lethal attack that moves very fast and can be guided. His lightning was able to cleanly sever the tails off a bunch of v2 jinchuriki. A kunai infused with raikiri was able to fly straight thru several boulders without altering it's trajectory. To show how extremely thick those things are, Orochimaru's kusanagi couldn't even leave a scratch in v2 Naruto. Learning that bit about cutting the lightning bolt with raikiri was true puts him at the top of the list.

3rd Raikage is probably the hardest hitter with it, having an older and probably stronger version of chidori. It was even able to blow a hole in himself, whereas rasenshuriken didn't even leave a dent. Also, he has the incredibly fast and deadly black lightning attack, able to kill many enemies in an instant. However, he was never seen using the move himself.

Ameyuri Ringo: Holy Crap! After seeing the past three swordsmen fall so easily, I was expecting her to be a joke, especially knowing how bad this series is at making women far weaker than their male counterparts. While not very diverse, she is absolutely devastating. She shoots small but accurate thunderbolts from her swords, that have a surprisingly high kill rating and apparently don't use much chakra. What really puts her so high on the list though is her strongest attack. She plants both swords in the ground, and massive lightning bolts strike the area doing collosal damage to a wide area. Unlike kirin however, they don't require much of any prior setup, aren't the least bit conditional, and can be used as many times as she likes. She basically solo'd 2 platoons, granted most of them were fodders.

Darui is just plain deadly with lightning. His signature move, laser circus (part lightning part water), shoots several high speed lightning lasers that he can guide directly into the enemy. It's penetrating abilities seem somewhat limited however, considering it didn't do much damage to initial susanoo. He does have the much more powerful black lightning tech that he got from the 3rd Raikage, and proved able to destroy a large amount of Zetsus with it instantly.

Sasuke, while very overrated by sheer fanboyism, is still proficient with lightning. He learned chidori from kakashi. However, unlike Kakashi's raikiri and 3rd Raikage's Hellstab that have pierced everything that they've hit, it has shown upper limits in penetrating power. A direct hit only stunned Killer B, and barely did any damage at all to A. He has made a few variations of this technique though. Chidori spear extends the chidori, dramatically boosting it's range, but dividing out it's power. It is used more as a sword than as the charging attack of chidori. Next is the chidori stream, that expands the chidori into the area surrounding him creating a painful, but non lethal, defensive barrier should the opponent get too close. Kirin is a move that defies logic and shows how much of a fanboy kishi was at the time. Basically, Sasuke controls a lightning bolt and attacks the opponent with it. It is said to use no chakra due to manipulating an existing element rather than creating one. However other moves that manipulate nature only give a discount on chakra rather than giving it for free. Also the move is extremely conditional since it can only be used in a lightning storm, and it only produces a single shot, that can be avoided via clones, substitution, strong enough defence, etc...

Despite being the Raikage, A is very limited with lightning. His only known technique is lighting armor. With this, he shocks himself to stimulate his nerves boosting his already great strength and speed. Are there any moves here i'm forgetting?

You seem to post on everything related to Sasuke :/ but none of my other threads.

No, 3rd Raikage's Lightning Armor boosted his offense & speed further, defense wasn't a factor because of his body.. 3rd Raikage's body itself is the most likely reason people rate his raiton so highly.

Re: Who was the best lightning release (raiton) user?

Kirin is just natural lightning that Sasuke directs using chidori and Kakashi's raikiri can cut lightning so... the argument that kirin is to fast for Kakashi to counter is also invalid as he has clearly cut lightning before so he is obviously fast enough to do so again.

And finally, black lightning is obviously better then ordinary lightning so Darui is better then sasuke.
So it would go:
1. 3rd Raikage
2. Other Raikages
3. Kakashi
4. Sasuke

.......... , do you honestly think that Kakashi can cut multiple condensed bolts of lightning in an instant as compared to one bolt of lightning? .... If you think so, you're totally defying the laws of physics that even the Narutoverse follows to an extent. Kakashi can cut 15% of Kirin before being incinerated by the rest of it. Kakashi's only two OFFENSIVE techniques doesn't make for a skilled Raiton user, such as the other Shinobi on this list.

You didn't read the whole thread. And you're using bias to make up your "15%" idea.
